Rating: Fifth release for the American band, two years after the last "Vena Sera". In their 15 years of activity, they have never managed to make that quality leap that would set them apart from the vocalist=tool comparison that has pathetically characterized other bands in the alternative/rock scene, even though they showed promise in their major debut "Wonder what's next". That's precisely why I wanted to review this latest album, always having a pinch of hope and credibility in them; they seem to have finally shuffled the deck, combining what's been done with appreciable results.
The album's 11 tracks flow reasonably well. From the opening track "Sleep apnea", one can perceive the style in which the refrains of almost all the other songs will be structured without ever falling into the mundane. A good performance in "Mexican sun" and the first single "letter from a thief", and an intense one in "This circus"; "Roswell's spell" is an example of the unfortunately late maturation of the singer. There's also time for a ballad "Highland's apparition", which this type of group never overlooks or disdains. The track that undoubtedly represents the album is the second single "Jars", with a very beautiful interpretation, especially with a very catchy chorus that sticks in your head. Certainly, there are those 2-3 tracks that end up in oblivion immediately after listening to them.
For those who appreciate the genre, I recommend spending that half-hour of listening; not a throwaway album compared to its predecessors.
Rating 3.5/5
Round down.
Tracklist and Lyrics
01 Jars (03:21)
Hold onto chance
Lest we bleed ourselves
Then save for the pets
They're the loneliest
Put into jars
We'll save this earth
Put into jars
We'll save this earth
We can't both become the same pawn
That's made to fall
Oil that tastes like blood
Stole the summer scent
from me to you
You're stabbing me through you
You're stabbing you through him
And betting most of...
This world!!
We'll add enough of the world
Steal from yourselves
It never felt so good
collect feed from their hand's
Confused by opposites
Put into jars
We'll save this earth
Put into jars
Keep safe this earth
We can't both become the same pawn
That's made to fall
Oil that tastes like blood
Stole the summer scent
from me to you
You're stabbing me through you
You're stabbing you through him
And betting most of...
This world!!
We'll add enough of the world
Feeling manic for a day
Depends on the trends
Depends on the surface
If the sun never sets
We can't both become the same pawn
That's made to fall
Oil that tastes like blood
Stole the summer scent
from me to you
You're stabbing me through you
You're stabbing you through him
And betting most of...
This world!!
We'll add enough of the world
Is the main thing you'll shout
Till the bitter end...
Into Jars
